The Shadows in South Africa 1961
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2017 9:46 am
On the french Shadows' forum, we are having a discussion about which amps were used when playing at the Johannesburg Colosseum in 1961 when they were recorded live.
In Mike Read's book "The Story of The Shadows" Bruce Welch is quoted saying :
"We were promised Vox amps for the tour but we ended up being given Gibson amps which of course had to be used for the live recording as well. This was the only time that Vox amplifiers weren't used on our recordings."
But it is also believed that they came with their own Vox amps. Has anyone precise informations on this subject ? pics would be welcomed.
